Cannes 2018 Adam Driver: let’s fight I just wrote about the potential importance of BlacKkKlansman. Adam Driver is in Cannes in support of Spike Lee’s film. I want to establish that I know the serious subject matter of BlacKkKlansman and that I respect it before I go low classy and turn this into a conversation By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 11:47 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman at Cannes Spike Lee was back at Cannes for the first time since 1991 for Jungle Fever. For his return, Spike premiered his latest joint BlacKkKlansman. The film was received with a 10-minute standing ovation. Critics are calling it Spike’s best film in years. There is even talk that BlacKkKlansman will By Kathleen • May 16, 2018 11:14 am
Cannes 2018 John Travolta’s Cannes hair, Cannes moves We have, over the years, enjoyed reporting on John Travolta’s hair. His hair has been spray-painted, shellacked, and the hairline has gone through some fascinating changes. The colour, for example, was so dark at one point, Elvis Presley would have been jealous. John was in Cannes last night with By Lainey • May 16, 2018 10:33 am
Weddings Amal Clooney’s Met Gala and royal wedding dresses Amal Clooney wore one of the most polarising dresses at the Met Gala. Her Richard Quinn pants-dress combination was a bust for me. Duana, always the contrarian, didn’t hate it at all. Turns out though that that was one of two options for her – and the fact that she By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:50 am
Maple Leaf Harry & Meghan’s wedding kids I wrote earlier about the British royal family’s ability to “carry on”. And this is what they’re doing, even though there may probably be eight new Thomas Markle developments between now and Saturday. There’s a wedding to focus on. There are plans in place. They are moving By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:29 am
Royals Thomas Markle not attending royal wedding Like I said yesterday, every few hours there’s a new development. And we are getting every new development from Thomas Markle directly…via TMZ. Yesterday afternoon, Meghan Markle’s father, Thomas, told TMZ that despite the fact that he’d changed his mind earlier in the day and does By Lainey • May 16, 2018 09:13 am
Style Lando and Han on the Croisette Quiet Cannes, right? There was the women’s march, and Kristen Stewart took off her shoes, and Lars Von Trier predictably annoyed everyone, but it’s been relatively quiet, yes? It’s been quiet enough that The Hollywood Reporter ran an article devoted to Cannes’ “decline”. Frankly, it doesn’t By Sarah • May 16, 2018 08:56 am
Intro for May 16, 2018 Dear Gossips, Here’s one advantage to being a time zone ahead of your friends: you wake up to start your day just as they’re ending the previous one and you get to jump in last on a debate. You and your friends are probably having the same one. By Lainey • May 16, 2018 08:24 am
What Else What Else? If you haven’t watched this yet… please do. I am sitting in a hotel room CRYING over this video. Like the way Duana cries – with joy, always with joy! – now whenever Hugh Grant’s name comes up. This is it for me. This is the moment I fell in By Lainey • May 15, 2018 04:01 pm
Cannes 2018 Kristen takes her shoes off Kristen Stewart posed with her shoes on last night at the Palais in Cannes. And then she took them off to go up the steps. Many are interpreting it as a protest against that Cannes footwear policy about women and heels. It was a controversy in 2015 when several women By Lainey • May 15, 2018 03:04 pm
TV Updates This Is Upfronts Have you missed these titles? After NBCUniversal’s upfront presentation yesterday, the push to the fall premiere of Season 3 of This Is Us has officially started.

Celebrity Social Media Smutty Social Media, May 15, 2018 I’m disappointed Good News was cancelled. It was a lot like 30 Rock in its first couple of seasons – it hadn’t quite found the right balance yet but it was definitely getting there.

Royals Thomas Markle doesn’t want to “miss history” By the time you read this, it’ll be end of business day in London. So far, Kensington Palace has not released any updated information about the wedding and it doesn’t look like they will. Meghan Markle’s father, however, has given us an update on his situation, through By Lainey • May 15, 2018 12:58 pm
Lifestyle Carpets & Candids: Angela’s bustier This is a look you have to serve it! You can’t just step onto a carpet without any attitude if you’re wearing a bustier and a jacket with feather sleeves draped over the shoulders. And that’s not a problem with Angela Bassett. She is wearing the sh-t By Lainey • May 15, 2018 12:41 pm
Quiveration MBJ at Cannes Yesterday, after I wrote about Chadwick Boseman’s commencement address at Howard, a few of you pointed out that the soap opera gig that Chadwick was fired from ended up going to Michael Bae Jordan. The character’s name was Reggie. Of course, I knew that my bae was on By Kathleen • May 15, 2018 12:06 pm
